Overexpression of cytochrome C by a recombinant rabies virus attenuates pathogenicity and enhances antiviral immunityR Pulmanausahakul
Department of Microbiology, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107, USA
J Virol 75:10800-7. 2001..The strong increase in immunogenicity, coupled with the marked reduction in pathogenicity, identifies the SPBN-Cyto c(+) construct as a candidate for a live rabies virus vaccine...
Modulation of serum uric acid levels by inosine in patients with multiple sclerosis does not affect blood pressureS Spitsin
Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA
J Hum Hypertens 24:359-62. 2010..Our findings indicate that raising the serum UA levels to upper normal physiological levels for a period of up to 1-year does not influence blood pressure significantly...

Department of Immunology and Microbiology, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107, USA
Mult Scler 7:165-6. 2001..These observations were now extended to 132 sets of twins with one sibling affected by multiple sclerosis. In blood of both mono- and dizygotic twins the uric acid levels were lower in the twin with the disease than in the healthy twin...
